OnePlus 6 Specifications And Rumors

Published

on

Smartphone giant OnePlus made a name for itself in the industry by creating good phones with top shelf specifications and selling them at a relatively cheaper price. Ever since the first flagship killer phone was launched in 2014, OnePlus mobiles have built a loyal consumer base which increased with every new release.

This flagship killer company has been giving tough competition to smartphone market giants such as Apple and Samsung. Post releasing their latest phone OnePlus 5T last year, the company is gearing up to reveal the next model OnePlus 6 very soon. Here’s what we know about the device so far.

Name and Release Date


The company will stick with its tradition and name the phone OnePlus 6 like every device before.  The phone, however, may be released earlier this year as rumors began popping up well in advance. With the previous releases, OnePlus has always released the first model in June, following it up with the ‘T’ version in November. This year, users may not have to wait until June for the first model.

Specifications
The OnePlus 5T supported a 5.5 inch full HD display, the OnePlus 6 may feature a 5.7 inch display with a screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. Images leaked in February featured the OnePlus 6 phone having a glass back which could mean the flagship killer is finally getting wireless charging. OnePlus’ dash charger is one of the most loved and distinctive features of the phone. Wireless charging would only add to this feature. However, there has not been any other news to verify this piece of information. Along with a glass back, if the leaked images are to be believed, then the famous dual camera has also been moved to the middle of the back panel, above the fingerprint scanner.

OnePlus 5T was launched with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. The OnePlus 6, however, may be launched with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with an AnTuTu score of 276,510. If these rumors are true, the OnePlus 6 will be the fastest phone at the moment surpassing the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S which has a purported AnTuTu score of 273,741. The AnTuTu score gives Android devices an overall numerical score as well as individual scores for each test it performs. These tests include testing different parts of a device, such as how fast a phone’s storage performs.


This latest smartphone will run on Android v8.0 (Oreo) and will be powered by Octa core processor paired with 8 GB of RAM. While multiple rumors suggest the OnePlus 6 may have an iPhone X like notch, Carl Pei tweeted against it.

However, a tweet cannot be taken as an official statement. So the ‘notch’ may actually become a reality. Whether the company will also be featuring a Face Unlock like the iPhone X is yet to be seen. In terms of battery, gadgets review website, GadgetsNow reported, this new phone may have a 3500 mAh battery. The phone will also support a Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Compass and Gyroscope. All the users who love the OnePlus camera have one more thing to look forward to. The OnePlus 6 may come equipped with a 23 MP camera with a dual LED flash and 16 MP dual lens camera on the front.

Finally, OnePlus mobiles are known for providing the best specifications at much lower price points. That being said, every new iteration has seen an increase in its price. If the company sticks to the trend, then OnePlus 6 may be the first phone to be launched above the $500 benchmark.

Let us know what you think about this flagship killer in the comments section! Stay tuned to this space for more information.

Reliance Jio Platforms Puts $100 Billion IPO on Hold to Focus on Growth

Published

on

Reliance Jio Platforms, the digital and telecom powerhouse led by Mukesh Ambani, has decided to postpone its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO), shelving plans for a 2025 listing. The IPO, which analysts valued at over $100 billion and expected to be India’s largest-ever stock market debut, will not take place this year. The company has yet to appoint bankers for the process, signaling that preparations for the public offering have not started in earnest.

According to sources close to the matter, Jio Platforms wants to give its business more time to grow before going public. The company is focusing on boosting revenues, expanding its telecom subscriber base, and scaling up its digital services—including apps, connected devices, and AI solutions—so it can achieve a higher valuation when the IPO eventually happens. Nearly 80% of Jio Platforms’ $17.6 billion annual revenue currently comes from its telecom business, Reliance Jio Infocomm, but the company is investing heavily in new digital ventures and partnerships, such as its collaboration with Nvidia on AI infrastructure.

The news of the delay impacted the market, with shares of parent company Reliance Industries falling by up to 1.8% following the announcement. Despite a strong IPO environment in India, Jio’s move is seen as a strategic decision to ensure stronger business fundamentals and a higher valuation before entering the public markets. Major investors, including Google and Meta, are said to support the decision, viewing it as a step toward long-term value creation.

Starlink - StartupStories

Elon Musk’s Starlink has received the final regulatory green light to launch its satellite internet services in India, marking a major milestone for the country’s digital connectivity. The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) granted Starlink the crucial approval, making it the third company after Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Jio to secure full regulatory clearance for satellite broadband in India.

What Does This Mean for India?

  • Starlink can now move forward with commercial satellite broadband operations, aiming to bring high-speed internet to both urban and remote regions where traditional connectivity is limited or unavailable.
  • The approval allows Starlink to operate its Gen1 satellite constellation over Indian territory, using a mix of Ka and Ku band frequencies for reliable internet access.
  • The license is valid until July 7, 2030, giving Starlink five years to establish and grow its presence in the Indian market.

What’s Next for Starlink?

Before launching services, Starlink must:

  • Acquire satellite spectrum from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT)
  • Set up ground infrastructure such as gateway stations across the country
  • Complete security and compliance trials as required by Indian authorities

If all goes according to plan, Starlink’s commercial rollout could begin by late 2025 or early 2026.

Pricing and Partnerships

  • Starlink kits are expected to cost around ₹33,000, with monthly subscription fees likely ranging from ₹3,000 to ₹4,200.
  • The hardware and services will be distributed through major telecom partners like Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, expanding Starlink’s reach across India36.
  • These rates are similar to those in neighboring countries where Starlink has already launched.

Why Is This Important?

  • Starlink’s entry is set to transform India’s internet landscape, especially for rural and underserved communities.
  • The move supports India’s broader goal of expanding digital access and bridging the connectivity gap across diverse regions.

In Summary

With this final approval, Starlink is poised to revolutionize satellite internet in India, offering new options for millions of users and supporting the country’s digital future. The next steps involve spectrum allocation, infrastructure setup, and regulatory compliance—after which Starlink aims to go live, potentially as soon as the end of 2025.
